Murilo Rubião (1 July 1916–16 September 1991) was a Brazilian writer. He was born in Carmo de Minas city, state of Minas Gerais, and died in Belo Horizonte.
Murilo Rubião was born June 1st 1916 in Carmo de Minua, Brazil to Eugene and Marie Antoinette Rubião Alvares Ferreira Rubião. His entire work consists of short stories, all of them dealing with fantastic themes. He was very obsessive about his work, revising it at every new edition, always changing a few details, such as characters' names.
Rubião attended school in Conceição do Rio Verde, then studied law in Belo Horizonte, graduating in 1942. He became editor of the newspaper, Folha de Minas. In 1947 he released his first book of short stories, O ex-mágico (published by Avon books in 1984 as The Ex-Magician and Other Stories). The book won little acclaim and Rubião began work as a political adivsor.
In 1951, he became head of the governor's office of Presidente Kubitschek. Between 1956 and 1961 he served as cultural attaché of Brazil in Spain. In 1966 he was appointed to organize the Literary Supplement of the Official Gazette of Minas Gerais, a prominent artistic and cultural newspaper.
The publication of O pirotécnico Zacarias in 1974 brought sudden literary fame to Rubião. This short work has become emblematic of Brazilian fantastic literature. Murilo Rubião is beleive to have influenced many Brazilian authors, among them Joseph J. Veiga and Moacyr Scliar. Rubião died in Belo Horizonte on September 16th, 1991.
